"Il est incroyablement évident que si le darwinisme était vraiment une théorie du hasard, il ne pourrait pas fonctionner."
— Richard Dawkins
Simplified Meaning:
Imagine you are rolling a dice to try to get a six. If you roll it once, there's a small chance you will get a six. But if you roll it thousands of times, you will definitely get a few sixes. Darwin's theory of evolution is like rolling the dice many times. It’s not about getting lucky in just one roll. Over a long time, small changes in animals help them survive better, and these useful changes stick around. Just like rolling enough times, these helpful changes aren't just luck; they are bound to happen. So, evolution works because it's not just random chance; it’s a process that builds up over time, making sure creatures keep getting better suited to their environment.
